Severe Thunderstorm Ingredients. The development of a thunderstorm is dependent upon three primary ingredients: atmospheric instability, moisture and a lifting mechanism. Severe thunderstorms, and supercell thunderstorms in particular, also require vertical wind shear.
Stronger thunderstorm cells are capable of producing tornadoes and waterspouts. There are four types of thunderstorms: single-cell, multicell cluster, multicell lines, and supercells. Supercell thunderstorms are the strongest and the most associated with severe weather phenomena.ry thunderstorms, with no precipitation, can cause the outbreak of wildfires with the heat generated from the cloud-to-ground lightning that accompanies them. Several methods are used to study thunderstorms, such as weather radar, weather stations, and video photography.
